My laptop was diagnosed by a technician that the video card is defective. Is the video card repairable?If not, Where can I find replacement parts?
Have a look on the web for the "X1000 Maintenance and Service Guide", which contains full disassembly instructions. All you need is a cross-head screw driver and a bit of patience. The Graphics Card (an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200) has a couple of screws and then just plugs into the motherboard - no soldering required! You can usually find these cards at reasonable prices at a well known auction site.
Yes you an replace that card.
Also the HP xt3000, or Compaq X7000 are the same video card.
I first suggest cleaning the contacts with alcohol and applying contact enhancer before spending $50-80 on another video card, unless they can show you and verify that it works before you buy it.
Check ebay under
zt3000 video card
x1000 video card
x7000 video card
You have to change entire motherboard that's the only way if you go to service provider also they will told to change the motherboard

Own a Compaq X1000, monitor kept going in/out and getting fuzzy and now nothing. sent the computer to a tech and they said the motherboard has to be replaced. Is this accurate?
nope..it's embedded on the motherboard...usually need to replace entire assembly
